HG Seed Destiny Civilian Astray Custom DSSD

Done up this kit pretty quickly, did not bother to paint it and only panel lined it with all stickers attached.

This kit is not too bad, like the beam saber especially, done up really like a cutlass, pirate style. The beam pistol is also like a flintlock pistol used by pirates. Hmmm, should I get another one for a pirate modification ala Crossbone?

The visor gimmick is also pretty cool, though it would have been better if it could be moved or be able to be removed easily.

Oops, forgot to reattach the top of the left fist for the first 2 pics, though it's not rreeeaaaaalllllyyyyy that visible unless u know of it... :p



SD 00 Raiser

Fixed up the SD 00 Raiser which I had gotten from HY sometime back. As you can see, I did a rather more thorough paint job on 00 compared to the SD 00 which I got a while back. (FYI, now the first SD 00 sports a gun metal paint scheme, will post pics of it when I have the time.)

Did paint the needed to paint bits on 00 which primarily are the head part, the mid torso, the various green circles on the limbs and panel lining as best as I could manage.

As for the 0 Raiser, very minimal paint job and some panel lining. The SD 0 Raiser is basically made up of roughly about 6 parts or so. The 2 wings are 1 part each and the main body is also basically 1 big chunk. The canopy comes moulded in clear orange. Transformation wise, 0 Raiser is pretty accurate to the show, the rear can be taken out and reattached to the bottom of the craft, revealing a peg which fits nicely into the back of SD 00.

Enjoy the pics.

Gunpla Steal Part 2

Damn, I'm such a sucker for cheap kits.....................

Couldn't resist getting a HG Zaku Warrior and a Keberos Bacue for $10 and $15 respectively.
Nearly got myself a Blade Rouzer, Blade King Form Sword, Garren Rouzer and Garren Buckle too, but then, my 'finance alarm' went off and I had to give them a miss. If not, the total would come up to roughly $125 or so...

Just finished on the Gouf Ignited yesterday, pics coming soon.

Gunpla Steal!!!!

Haha, chanced by OG PP today as I was working at a part time job of mine.
Decided to pop by OG after lunch to see whether they were having any sales on toys (still looking for that elusive TFA Deluxe Samurai Prowl and Voyager Wreckgar to no avail... (T-T"))

Lo and behold, saw this massive stack of toys by 1 corner of the toy section, with red price tags.
Whoo hoo, clearance time! Stacks of GSD HG kits and 1/100 scale kits, ryukendo toy and KR Blade henshin toys at totally ridiculous prices. Prices were as low as $10 and a large portion of the Gunpla's were slightly more than 50% off. Imagine, KR Chalice's bow weapon for like $15, Garren buckle for $15, Ryukendo figure with some animal bot for $12~$15?

Mai tu liao, grabbed me 2 Gunpla HG kits initially, the only Dom Trooper and a Gouf Ignited which was gold (some Rudolf custom) for $15 each. I actually wanted the included stands more than the kits itself since I wanted the stands for my 00 kits. Went back to office, thought about it somemore and I guess "greed" got the better of me, so I went back again and got me a normal coloured Gouf Ignited and a Civilian Astray DSSD Custom for $15 each again.

Wah, $60 spent in 1 go, rest of the week eat grass le... But at least I now have something to do during those late hours at night when I dun have anything to do but hands are itchy, mwahaha...

Now got something to do whilst waiting for the HG Trans-Am Riser, HGUC Hi-Nu, HG Susanowo, SD Sangou Koumei Nu Gundam, HG upgraded Cherudim and Kyrios.

Bloody hell, walk back into the flames of Gunpla building frenzy again after I quit in 02/03. Can't help it, the 1/144 kits nowadays are so much more articulate and posable compared to then and are cheaper than the MG kits which I used to do, though I only buy the kits nowadays during sales or from lobang thanks to bro HY.
Well, these are the 6 kits that I'd gotten recently, SD 00 Raiser, HG GN-X III, Dom Trooper, Civilian Astray DSSD Custom, Gouf Ignited, Rudolf's Gouf Ignited

Nothing beats a little green to brighten up the place
